Ave. -OMETrMKS I don't wonder that . there nre people who do not feel ' wildly enthusinstlo over church- ffoingr. Frequently they nic strangers In a City and have come from a place where they knew everybody nnd weie accustomed to consideration and friend ly interest and cheery greetings. To them a "chinch home" meant some thing. They think it will mean some thing In their now surroundings: and surely rnough it does, but something very dllfercnt. Of course, when one Joins a church, it ought to be the church. One is not supposed to Join the preacher or the organ or, strictly speaking, the congregation. It is un derstood that the Lord will bo there, but as one old lady, who had been transferred to a new (lock under a new shepherd, pathetically remarked: "There doesn't seem to be even tho same Lord here that there was in MUI vllle; somehow I don't feel acquainted with Him at all." I know one lady who canii to Seran ton and immediately connected herself with a prominent church of whose de nomination she had long been a mem ber. " hen X had been here three years," she said, "I knew precisely as many people In that church as I did when I entered It at first. About tho only attention I ever received was a frequent and Insistent demand for con tributions." Once she was approached by one of the members and asked If she did not feel that she could 1I9 s.ome church, work. "Yes," she promptly leplled, "I do feel that I could. I am a very busy woman" adding with energy: "But I should bo willing to devote considerable time to serving on a reception commit tee to make strangers feel nt home in your church!" This lady had brought letters of introduction to prominent residents of our city from persons of distinction elsewhere. She entered a church noted for Its good works. Like several others, Its so-called "social" affairs openly alleged to be created ."olely for the benefit ot newcomers, have been known to give tho bene ficiaries violent attacks of pneumonia. "Why Is It anywny? Scranton people aro not "stuck up." There are few- places where snobbishness Is so little noticeable as here. Neither nrq we sus picious by nature. They say there Is not a spot on earth where tho rpsldents are more' cheerfully and willingly bun coed and where they evince more nlac rlty In being taken In, than this same Scranton of ours. Hence It cannot be nny overdeveloped bump of caution that leads us to bo wary of tho stran ger In the next pew. Is it selfishness, greed of time, or simply an acute senna of tho importance of attending strior y to our own affairs? I wonder! Most of our churches have a system of dlstilct visiting. Sometimes they hire somebody to do It for them, and on other occuslons there Is a specJnl dispensation of Indies who put on their second best gloves and an a'r of resig nation and sally forth to call on tho "new people" much as they might pass lu a plate of cold victuuls through the window of a quarantined house. If tho "new people" are very humble and downtrodden indeed they may be grate ful for this crumb of distinguished con siderutlont Often they aro not humble und the district visitor Is about as un comfortable as she deserves to be, One now comer to the city hud an ex perience with tho church ylejtlng com mittee that sho relates with glee. "An Imposing lady wltli eyeglasses and a stony stun; was at the door one morning, and I happened to answer the bell myself. STie promptly took me for the maid and wus not at all discon certed when I coyly admitted that I was Mrs. A . She had a small slip of pnper In her hand and as Bhe scru tinized It, explained: 'I found your name on my Hat nnd ns I am one of the visiting committee for the month, I thought I might as well come this morning nnd get It over with,' " "I can assure you," added the hostess of thnl particular visitor, "that 1 put forth no violent efforts to prevent her from 'getting It over with.' " Why do we do It, nnd how shall wc change matters? 1 don't know. I nm not a bit of use In the way of suggest ing remedies. There arc some people who could prescribe remedies for ev erything under tho sun, from n fitly cats lo strikes. 1 never could. I can Mud fault. As for church visiting, I myself hnte to call on new people. Indeed, It Is rather a trouble to call on the old ones, whom I like and who aro good to me, and nsk me to come ngaln next year. 1 am morally certain that I should dis play no more tact that the lady of the eyeglusses If In some moment of nber rntlon I should bo Induced to cnll on "new people" In the church; but some body ought to do something, for they do sny that we have the greatest cold storngc system In the way of churches In Scrnnton than enn be found east of Chicago. There are two kinds of men that a girl should not marry: the kind that knows how to cook nnd tho kind that Is satisfied. She will scarce ly be able to make the first happy, and she will certainly not be made happy by the second. If there Is nnybody more exasper ating than the man who had a super ior cook for a mother. It Is the one who himself knows, or thinks ho knows the distinction is immaterial how to cook. Oh, but he la a tiresome crea ture! You can bluff the man with a cooking mother. You can Inform him most politely that no doubt his mater nal ancestor was possessed of genius In her particular Hue of culinniy ac complishment and that you can testify to the fact that she made the most de licious muffins that mortal man ever put Into his greedy mouth, and then you can add sweetly, but what a pity it wus that she devoted so much time to cooking that she never had the op portunity to teach her boys to be prompt nt meals and to shut the screen door after them. If that doesn't quiet him about "the pies that mother baked," a prolonged lecture on modern day knowledge of food values pro teins, nlbumcns, etc., will be rather sure to fetch him, and he will hesltnte be fore again inviting any such illustra tions of tho text. But there hasn't been anything dis covered that will protect a woman from a husband who knows how to cook. Ho Is simply Impossible. There was never steak broiled as ho can bioll it, if he were only allowed to set his foot inside the kitchen, but as his wife has a fool ish preference for the lady of that do main over an erratic gentleman who would probably tire of a permanent position as steak-broiler, ho is never given scope for his genius. There were never biscuits such ns he made on a memorable camping expedi tion, nnd he never can see why his wife cannot learn how to do them properly. Then there is something wrong with the coffee. If ho made the coffee it would always bo precisely the same not clear today and muddy tomorrow or a trifle weak the next day. There Is no reason in tho world why coffee should vary in any respect from one morning to the next, and the cook should be spoken to about It. If his wife doesn't enro to do it, ho wouldn't mind saying a few mild reproaches to the person out in tho kitchen. The trouble is with women that they are afraid to speak to the cook about things, or else they don't know how to do it themselves and therefore can't tell the cook what is wrong. He would be perfectly willing to toll her what Is the matter with the flannel cakes, and by this time the worm turns nnd tho wife announces with ominous express iveness of tone: MMtoJ ?J Htttil isB .
